Carlo Gavazzi is proud to launch the BFD Series, one of the most advanced light curtains for guarding industrial doors. Thanks to a unique design, the BFD can distinguish between normal door operation, and foreign objects blocking the door. Unlike standard door sensors located in one or two locations along the door track, the BFD guards the entire height of the door, so a raised forklift is detected without fail.

The BFD is loaded with features that make it an excellent choice for any industrial door-guarding application:

• 39.4 foot (12m) sensing range
• Edge sensing and side sensing versions for fit in every installation
• Two height options: 6.6 ft. (2m) and 8.2 ft. (2.5m)
• 10 – 30 VDC and 18 – 27 VAC rectified supply
• Static opto-mosfet output
• Normally Open and Normally Closed output selectable
• Dynamic blanking function allows sensor to recognize vertical door closure
• Built-in test function assures safe, reliable operation
• LED indication for power supply, system status, and alignment
• Color-coded emitter and receiver cables, with M12 connectors for simple installation
• Optional mating cable kit available
• IP54 versions for indoor use, and IP65 versions for wash down areas

The BFD Series is an excellent choice for all types of industrial doors, including sectional doors, high speed rolling doors, fire doors, freight elevator doors, and many more. With UL, CSA, and CE approvals, your assurance of high quality is unmatched.
